Even with real estate prices dropping across the country, luxury living still comes at a premium. The median price to rent an apartment in Dubai is AED 89 per square foot. By contrast, Downtown Dubai (AED 117 per sq ft), the most expensive neighborhood to rent, is a whopping 31% more costly than the emirate’s median.

The biggest drop in asking price for apartments for sale was in The Views (-5.2%), knocking it off the Top 5 list of most expensive. Still not a bargain, though, at AED 1543 per sq ft.
